| Root | לוט (l-w-ṭ) |
| Core Meanings | covering, wrapping, veiling, enveloping |
| Semantic Range | Primarily a personal name; etymologically linked to concepts of covering or veiling, though in narrative usage it functions simply as a proper name. |
| Conceptual Significance | Lot is Abraham’s nephew and a central figure in the narratives of Genesis 13–19, especially in the account of Sodom’s judgment. His story highlights themes of separation, moral testing, divine mercy, and the consequences of dwelling among corruption. |
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, masculine singular (HNp). Functions as a personal name; no pronominal suffixes or verbal stem features are present. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name לוֹט is a masculine singular proper noun (HNp). Its consonantal form reflects the root לוט, meaning "to cover" or "to veil." Rendering it as "Lot (the Veiled-One)" preserves both the personal-name function and the underlying root sense while maintaining its masculine singular identity. |
